-superior, middle, inferior
Term
what forms the floor of the upper res. system?
Definition
bony and soft parts of the palate
Term
Pharynx:
is shared by what 2 systems
-what is it between?
Definition
-digestive and respiratory system
-btwn the internal nares & layrnx and esophagus
Term
What are the 3 regions of the pharynx?
Definition
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
Term
Where are the following:
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
Definition
Nasopharynx with auditory tubes and pharyngeal tonsils
Just behind the nose
Oropharynx with uvula and palatine tonsils
Food passes through here; palatine tonsils on either side of the throat here
Laryngopharynx is between hyoid bone and esophagus
Term
Where does the larynx start?
Definition
at the glottis
Term
3 Cartilages of the Larynx
Definition
Thyroid
Cricoid
Epiglottis
Term
Larynx 3 cartilages
Definition
THYROID – largest; opens posteriorly
Large shield shape; thyroid is on either side of it; nearly
comes all the way around; Adam’s Apple

CRICOID – ring-shaped
Almost completely ring shaped; the most inferior of the three;

EPIGLOTTIS – folds over the opening to larynx so food can’t be inhaled; **protects respiratory tract; anterior surface of larynx; tongue shaped
Term
Larynx 3 smaller cartilages
Definition
Arytenoid (superior to cricoid)-adjust the glottis opening
Corniculate (tips of the arytenoid) Cuneiform (w/I aryepiglottic fold) sits on the corniculate cartilage & attaches to epiglottis
Term
Larynx, intrinsic ligaments (2)
Definition
VESTIBULAR w/I vestibular folds (False Cords)more superior
-VOCAL w/I vocal folds (True Cords); they open and shut as someone’s talk; they’re large and white
Term
Larynx muscles help with:
Name them: (2)
Definition
stabilization, movement
-intrinsic: regulate tension of vocal folds, open and close glottis
-extrinsic: stabilize larynx
Term
Trachea
4 parts
Definition
mucosa: (resp epithelial+lamina propria)
-mucus membrane
submucosa: has mucus glands

tracheal cartilages: have annular ligaments btwn them all, C-shaped (anterior and laterally up trachea)

Trachealis: muscle that connects ends of cartilage on posterior side
Term
Primary bronchi:
difference between R & L
separated by what?
Where do all the roots enter the lung?
what are the roots?
Definition
R:comes off trachea more steeply (foreign matter goes here)
-separated by carina
-hilus
-bv's, bronchi, etc.
Term
Lungs have...
Definition
an apex & base
Term
Lobes of the lungs:
Right and left lungs...
which side has cardiac notch?
Definition
Right: 3 lobes (superior, middle, inferior)
Left: 2 lobes (superior, inferior)
left.
Term
3 surfaces of the lung
-what do they contact?
Definition
1-costal: contact rib cage inside, touches front, back side of lung
2-mediastinal: has cardiac notch on L side, part of lung that faces medially
3-diaphragmatic: faces inferiorly, base of lung, sits on diaphragm
Term
how many secondary (lobar) bronchi branches do the right and left lungs have?
how many tertiary (Segmental) bronchi branches do the R and L lungs have?
Definition
L: 2 lobar bronchi and R: 3 lobar bronchi

Not specified..... FML.
Term
DID I MENTION?
Definition
I FREEEEAAAAAAkkkkkkinnnGGGGGG hate anatomy right now. GAHH.
%$#@!!
Term
Where do bronchioles come from?
Definition
tertiary bronchi branches
Term
At what point of the bronchi is there no more cartilage? (they get smaller til none)
Definition
terminal bronchioles
Term
What marks the end of the conducting zone?
Definition
Terminal bronchioles
Term
What marks the beginning of the respiratory area?
Definition
Respiratory bronchioles
-thinnest
-have air sacs for gas exchange
Term
Alveolar Ducts
Definition
come from respiratory bronchioles
-have elastic fibers
-surrounded by capillaries
-have alveoli
Term
Alveoli
Definition
Type I – simple squamous cells
-single layer that line the air sacs

Type II- -“surfactin cells”: surfactin is a soapy lipid based product that reduces surface tension
Term
alveolar macrophages
-what do they do?
Definition
increase the surface area and allow for quick gas exchange as all the blood goes flowing quickly by
Term
Blood Supply
what branches to the lungs
alveolar caps
Definition
branches of pulmonary circuit to lungs
-alveolar caps convert angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Term
Pleural Cavities
-what separates the 2 of them?
-what lines them?
Definition
the mediastinum
-visceral and parietal pleura
Term
3 muscles of respiration:
-what do they do?
Definition
External Intercostals: raise ribs
Internal Intercostals: flatten ribs &
help you push air out
Diaphragm : helps you inhale; diaphragm
contracts and pulls air in
Term
